SOLD Gibson R8 Les Paul Tom Murphy Aged Sunburst, 2002

On June 24, 2020 /

The Gibson R8 reproduces the famed 1958 Les Paul Standard model, the first in the line to include both a sunburst finish and the then-new PAF humbucker pickups. Launched in 1952, the Gibson Les Paul model put a carved Maple cap on a Mahogany slab, and paired that with a Mahogany neck with Rosewood fingerboard and a gold-top finish. The Les Paul custom soon followed, but without the Maple cap – the body was all Mahogany, including the carved top – and with an Ebony fingerboard and Black finish. For 1958, the Les Paul Standard appeared, using the same Maple and Mahogany construction but with a Sunburst finish.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson 1930s L00 Classic Limited Edition Ebony, 2015

On June 22, 2020 /

The Gibson 1930s L00 Classic is a reproduction of what became a very popular small body guitar introduced in 1932 and built until 1946. At that time, the Dreadnought or Jumbo design was just re-entering the market with Martin’s 1931 D-1, which became the D-18 in 1932. The 1930s L-00 Classic takes its cues from the post-1937 models; prior to that year, the back was not bound.

SOLD!! Gibson GB-3 Mastertone Guitar Banjo, 1926

On June 1, 2020 /

The first of the Gibson GB series of 6-string Mastertone Guitar Banjos appeared in 1918, as the GB-3 and GB-4. The GB-1 and GB-6 appeared in 1922, and by 1940, production had completely ended. The GB-5 was built only during 1925. These models were influenced by the popular Paramount banjo designs.These instruments are perhaps comparable in intent to the Resophonic guitars that were introduced by National just a few years later – meant to be used in fairly loud ensembles, often with horns, playing the Dixieland jazz that was all the rage.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson TB4 Snakehead Trap Door Tenor Banjo, 1924

On May 17, 2020 /

Here’s a lovely older instrument, built around 1924 – The Gibson TB4 Snakehead, trap door tenor banjo, with Maple for the neck, rim and folding ‘trap door’ resonator. This fine instrument has its original parts, though the case is long gone, and was built at the end of the Lloyd Loar era (1911 to end of 1924), which produced many historic innovations. The Gibson TB4 was part of the TB or Tenor Banjo series introduced in 1921 as Gibson attempted to stabilize its place in the banjo market.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson ES175 Single Pickup Archtop Electric Sunburst, 1966

On May 12, 2020 /

One of the classic musical workhorses, the Gibson ES175 single pickup guitar made its debut in 1949 with a P-90 at the neck, with the pickup updated to the all-new humbucker in 1957. In 1952, the ES175D (for Double pickup) appeared, with a second pickup in the bridge position. These guitars were immediate hits with professional players and serious amateurs in many genres – Jazz, Pop, and Country were the most common and the ES-175 was a standard for jazz players from its introduction until being recently discontinued.
